Hello team...I need some advice. I went to Beachbody.com and found Slim in 6 and Turbo Jam for the same price. Anybody tried both and have a preference? Thanks.0

Hi friends,
Our kiddos got to head outside today. Thank you Lord. It was best for all of us if we could get some fresh air and it really has been a lovely weekend.
Was not looking forward to the scale this morning. Had an awful day with food yesterday. I knew it wouldn't be good, but now I know what I need to do this week before Wednesday morning. TOM is here with a vengeance and I'd really like to just curl up into the fetal position and pass out until next week.
Gotta post and run. Wish I could respond to everyone, but not in the cards tonight - so it's a very broad H-E-L-L-O!0 -
I had such a busy weekend, I really have to get back on track. I'm not totally off, yet not totally on either. I'm riding somewhere in between. I have to admit, it's been nice to not think about any of it but I know the scale will not be good if I continue to not think about it for too long. Time to get back on I suppose.0

Thank you all SOOOOO much for your kind words!!! Today was a much much better day!!!!!!!! NO CHIPS
And I have decided that I need to get off of them slowly...none for this challenge week but, after that, I want to get away from them....they are running me!!! That damn vending machine!!!!!! Half of the coins in my piggy bank are because of the change from that dollar......this is going to be a new woman!! I am also back to my 40 pounds lost!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!! So, today I am feeling proud!!!! :0) Love you guys!!!!! 0 -

Kinda like my weekend-- did very well yesterday until Applebees-- did rather well today, in spite of my lunch out-- but, still not "on" and I wanted to run today, but had to of course pay my family penance for daring to have an afternoon out-- sheesh-- I come home to hell-- so, running didn't happen.
Actually-- I was just thinking I need to do a "mind over matter," kinda thing here and play a trick on me-- I've been so nutty about losing "my last 10 pounds," instead of just imagining I'm a person who "only has 10 pounds to lose."
Rather proud of my 40 pounds ticker lost, I've been reluctant to change it-- but, I think I'm gonna-- take a different mind approach and see what happens.
Yeah, I know-- women are nutty this way. Why should it matter what my mind thinks I'm doing? I don't know-- but, if it works, it's all good.
Yeah, I'm blathering-- wanta make somethin' of it?
Heading to bed-- zzzzzzzzzz-- nytol.0 -
As you wander off to bed, my little ones were getting me up!! We have snow (not predicted) and the 2 youngest have spent 30 minutes running round screaming 'it's a snow day' - I hope not :mad: :mad:
Weighed myself this am - 165.8. The lbs are slowly leaving, but so nice to see
Well just a quicky before I have to get the boys sorted and gagged, heheheh have a good day and I'll be back later xx0 -
POsted original message twice - can you tell I have been up for ages urgh!!!!!!!!!0

Ok, I have just ordered the 30 day shred dvd, please can someone advise me how to use this - should it be done everyday? every other day? as well as going on the exercise bike/rowing machine?
Thank you in advance :happy:0 -

Yeah, I haven't been on the scale since last Wednesday or Thursday. Me. The scale addict. My nonchalant attitude showed when I stepped on this morning. I was expecting to be around my last weigh in weight, 153ish.... instead 155ish. :noway: I gasped. Out loud. That's what not paying attention gets you.
I think I like your idea. I'm not a person who lost 50 (at one point, don't look at the ticker right now) and still needs to lose 10 more, the last dreaded 10 that refuse to leave. I'm a person who is within normal weight range who could lose 10 more if I so desire. Hmmmm, just maybe it would work. I'm with you though, it's hard to take away my ticker showing my progress.
No gym today. Sick one. Headed to the doctor, had to cancel my dentist appointment. Life with kids. Fun.0 -

Hi Tanya,
Just my opinion, and I'm sure there will be others. I have the Shred video, but I don't use it as the 30-day program (which I think has you do every day). I use it as an alternative to other exercises. This probably explains why I have never progressed off Level 1, but there you have it.
See how you like it. It seemed really hard to me at first - I was really unfit - but got more tolerable as I did it more times. There is enough change up of exercises that doing it everyday wouldn't really be a problem, if you choose to go that route.
Enjoy.
All others - sorry I can't call out to all. Still trying to get all my work done from my trip. Need that winning lottery ticket - like now.

Wanted to wish everyone good luck this week...I have the cold and its kicking my a**, but I did not let it keep me down this morning...I got up and did wk 2 day 1 of C25K program...drinking lots of water, but not much of an appetite, but still eating so I don't hit a wall...:sick:0

Leslie and Jeannie...I hope you feel better soon:flowerforyou:
Jeannie...I have been meaning to ask, what type of work do you do from home?0 -

Hey everyone! :flowerforyou:
Just stopping by with an update on this challenge...
I did eat out for lunch twice...both were healthy choices and one meal actually was enough for two lunches! As for cardio...I'm on day 4!!! Will having my strength training session, and possibly get in another precor workout!!!
I hope all of you are happy and healthy!!! 0 -
I got back on track today with food. Gym had to be skipped. Kid with bronchitis that needed to go to doctor trumped gym. I feel good about getting back on track I suppose, but more than anything I feel...... hungry. :grumble: I just ate a wad of BBQ chicken, a sweet potato, squash and mushrooms. I shouldn't still feel hungry, but I do.
I recognized I have not been drinking. Saturday when we were out at the soccer fields the only thing I drank all day, ALL DAY was 2 tiny hot chocolates. Granted, the outdoor bathrooms when I was already freezing were quite unappealing, but that's not enough to drink. Yesterday and today weren't much better. Gotta be conscious of the liquid intake tomorrow!
I'm contemplating hitting the elliptical for a 30 minute workout right now. I NEVER do that at night, but it's been too many days exercise free and I really need it.
Hope the black team is on the mend and all the sickness is on the way O-U-T.0 -

Thanks Tam..........I think (fingers crossed) I am on the mend.

Evening my team--
Had a nice 5k run tonight-- beautiful out. Not terribly cold--
I'm going on a "vegetable juice fast" beginning tomorrow for a week. Been reading online about different psoriasis approaches (psoriasis being the root cause of my arthritis symptoms) and I'm grasping at anything right now. Reports are that folks who have tried this were psoriasis free shortly after their fast-- hell, I'll try it.
So, I'll be here and weighing in on Wednesday-- sodium from yesterday's chili gave me fits and some bloat, so I don't know what the scale shall behold this Wednesday, but Lord willing come next week I'll weigh less after a week of vegetable juice.
I'll keep y'all posted-- heading to work-- later!0 -
sure hope the fast works, that skin condition is very uncomfortable:flowerforyou: wish I had some more ideas....0

Good Morning Everyone!:flowerforyou: Sorry I haven’t been in touch in a few days. Thanks to all you for keeping me in check. I’m back to eating though it was nice to see 3 pounds come off the scale. I doubt it will remain for tomorrow’s weigh in:grumble:
Leslie and Jeannie and Richie- Hope you are on your way back to full speed soon. Your energies are much needed.:flowerforyou:
Marla - I never commented on the girls family variety show. How proud you must have been. I love those moments….and Memories? OMG I could cry thinking about it. Sounds like you had a great weekend topped off with your HS buddies..and I hope your veggie juice fast works for you.
Tanya- I imagine with 4 boys you must have quite a household…especially on a snow day. My daughter is heading over to the UK at the end of March with a group from school. I have to get you the details.
Had a nice run this morning. Looking forward to tonight! I’m very torn since I’ve been watching BL for the first time but LOST – THE FINAL SEASON!!!!! YAYAYAAYAYAYA!!!! You would think it is SuperBowl Tuesday in my household. DH and Ds15 will be missing it as they are going sking up to Blue Mountain with the Alternative sports club at school. They will have to deal.
Happy last day of exercise before weigh in! Good Luck Everyone!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:0 -
Good morning everyone!
Just have time to stop in and say hello:flowerforyou:
Hope everyone thats been ill are feeling better, Im so glad nothing has invaded my home yet...:noway:
Have a great Last Chance workout everyone, I will try to check back in later! 0 -
Seems like today the bug is gone. Please God. :flowerforyou:
I don't know how I feel about exercise this soon. I have always felt the reason we get SO sick and STAY sick for so long is we go back to work............dont give our bodies the time to heal. Although I am feeling better, I know there are still germs and blood cells still fighting it out for my system!!
So I think I will go into the office and freak everyone out when I cough
Have a good day Black Team:glasses:0 -

Prayers that this is an answer for you, Marla. At the very least it will clean your system out, right?:flowerforyou:0 -

Biggest Loser is available to watch online, it just takes them a week to get it on the site, I have no idea why, most other shows are up and running the next day. I missed last week and will watch it today since it will be available. Sadly we just got DirecTv and a DVR and I forget to use that darn thing! Actually, soccer again tonight.... should set that darn DVR right now!0 -
Good morning all...Have to get started typing. I seem to get later and later. Today is gym day so hopefully I can misplace at least a pound this week. I say misplace because I keep finding it again:laugh:
Jeannie...Glad you are feeling better.
Marla...Hope your juice fast works.
Donna...Glad you are getting back into your routine.
It is raining here and we are having homemade baked potato soup, first time for this recipe so fingers crossed. Have a great day!0
